The English department at Ossett Academy are an outstanding team of professionals, who are vibrant and forward thinking.
We value challenge and active participation. The successful applicant will relentlessly pursue instilling an interest in their subject amongst all pupils, they will be innovative, with demonstrable resilience, vision and energy.
